[Debra Lockwood]

Hello,

If I read the writing contest correctly, it is open only to Canadians.
See note taken from the website; emphasis added. If I missed something
on the website, please let me know. 

 

January 24, 2008 - Toronto - In celebration of the 100th Anniversary of
Anne of Green Gables, Penguin Group (Canada) will launch a national
letter-writing contest* on February 9, 2008, inviting Canadians of all
ages to write to Anne Shirley, telling her in 500 words or less, what
she means to them.

	Just spotted this on the Children's Lit listserve. Well, it's
nice to know someone is talking about Anne during the year of her 100th
birthday, even if the conference (in San Francisco) isn't until the end
of December . . . !
